Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper says he had an "interesting" chat with PGMOL chief Howard Webb following last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.
The Reds felt they should have had a penalty in the first half for a handball against Harry Maguire, with the score still 0-0 at the time and the United defender already on a booking. But referee Simon Hooper waved away the appeals, and his verdict was not overturned by VAR.
Cooper said afterwards he anticipated an apology from the Professional Game Match Officials Board. And ahead of this weekend’s trip to face Liverpool, he says he has spoken to Webb, the PGMOL’s first chief refereeing officer.
